Khans of Tarkir Game Day @ Comic Quest

Jack & I headed to Comic Quest for Khans of Tarkir Game Day.


We were an hour late--event started at 11:00 AM & we thought it was at Noon--but they had started 30 minutes late so we were able to drop in fairly easily.

My first game was against Jack. He took the Bye and I took the lose.


His deck is very good--Jeskai with some wild Mantis Riders and other threats. I am playing Abzan Kind of Lame because I do not have all of the pieces to make it good.



My second match was against Stephen who is playing Minotaur's. I was confident and had fun playing him--I missed my green drops & got run over, but it was fun.






Round three I played against FNM Superstar Drew who was playing some odd Combo deck that never really went off--it was a very good time.

Gnolls!


The Bake is Back! Summer has seen us miss a lot of sessions, but we appear to be getting back on track.

DM James was in fine form, as always


Cameron was in a great mood.


Brett's Elf Ranger did 210 in one round.


It was really good to see Eric--seems like he has not been available a few times lately.


I shared the couch with Andrew & David.


James has us well equied in the Epic Tier



as we move against Gnolls trying to bring this guy back

I am still taking a lot of notes


And putting it all up on Epic Words


at level 21 even iPlay4E does not help run your character--you have to start creating spreadsheets with conditional effect information.


Tracking initiative is a challenge with everything that is going on.


The MC Alternative radio station was the Bomb again last night--Ty Segal is my favorite thing that they are playing right now.


Falling from our Sky Boat a gnoll takes 14d6!


I was able to bamf a guy onto our ship who was promptly pushed off by David's character--he is playing two and I am not really sure exactly which one this was--the elf with boy is Vandale's Shooter who is ridiculous at this level--he has 5 hunters quarries and some power in which he can attack them all--just sick.


Griff and the ground crew--which included Cameron's Fiddenmar, Andrew's Bemin, Eric's Griff, & David's Warlord, I thin--just mowed stuff down!


KUBA the fourth incarnation of my Shardmind went toe to toe with the Angelic Soldier in an epic battle that I won with a round house to the face!


We had two crits which are sick, but with all the damage we are handing out not as spectacular as one would hope--we likely need to min/max around crits more again.

Hoard of the Dragon Queen--D&D Encounters S19 S8

On the drive down to Comic Quest there were these weird cars with GoPro's on them--no idea what they were for



Jack had homework so he was out, Brian was at a work thing, Andy & I hit Pei Wei where I ordered the Green Bean appetizer and a side of rice for under five bucks--best order yet!



John finished painting my Dark Sun guy--it looks awesome! Picture did not come out very well...


Garret did his first paint on this Dwarf which looks really good, I think.


Christie's nails continue in the Halloween theme


David, the sixth grade math genius got an iPhone 6 because he got straight A's....And Skittles...and a killer pencil...man, I want to grow up and be David!


John went with Fries, sweat and sour dipping sauce, a weird binder thing.


Camille is using one of the greatest mini's of all time! Needs to get some color on it, however!


We had a fun session of mostly combat. 


Players were vastly outnumbered--some failed to leap to safety


I had to DM Fiat their escape, but I think most of the players had a good time.


Except for Drew who got arrested for crashing his car into a parked car--for more on this watch the video.



Tuesday Extra Life Sign Up Day

Squirrel!


My sister in law sent me this image of a women sitting on a bed--evidently, husband came home from work early, took this picture, and then divorced her based on something in the image. I do not see it...


Good turn out this week! I spent most of the time setting the kids up for Extra Life Fundraiser.





Jack, Preston, Dylan, & Evan are getting it done



Liam is playing like a rock star!



Alexander and Matt hard at work trading!



Jack in the zone--we drove to UCLA to see Dr Levinson after this so he was relaxed and having fun.





I made coffee in the Kurig




Tuesday has great mechanics.



Here is Leim demonstrating some dice magic







There was one rule controversy! And it was around me!

Preston cast Stormbreath Dragon with it's "protection from white"



I then cast Abzan Charm and exile it:



not realizing that the one white mattered...or cheating..either way, what should be the penalty for my miss play? 

Auto-disqualification?
